I bought Christmas mugs at the thrift store and filled them with a stack of homemade cookies in cellophane bags for my co-workers last year, they really liked them and it was very thrifty.

Both of my sisters are quilters so I wrap their presents in fabric, sometimes from my stash and other times when I see it on sale.

This year whenever I've seen brand new toys or kids' books still in their wrapping at the thrift store I've bought them and saved them for Toys for Tots.
